Logically, I shouldn't like this film. It has no real plot, is more a sequence of dance numbers and tableaux and has a cheesy message. But I loved it. The final scene in the Ballet School made me cry, just like the almost identical finale in Billy Elliot, but the energy and joy of the film is overwhelming. Cheesy, but true, when you give up your dream, you die.
